maltatoday | SUNDAY • 18 JUNE 2023 9 COMMERCIAL Timothée Chalamet the new ambassador of Bleu De Chanel Fragrance CHANEL is pleased to con- firm Timothée Chalamet as the new ambassador of BLEU DE CHANEL fragrance. With a dynamic energy as raw as it is refined, the French-American 27-year-old actor has gained a distinguished worldwide repu- tation, while still at the dawn of his career. Apart from his audacious style and unapolo- getic charm, Timothée Cha- lamet personifies the vision- ary and edgy spirit of the next chapter of BLEU DE CHANEL: a man who does not limit him- self to the ordinary boundaries life sets and looks beyond what is visible. Timothée Chalamet's mete- oric rise to international ac- claim began with his revelatory performance in Luca Guadag- nino's 2017 coming of age film Call Me by Your Name. His disarming, magnetic portrayal earned him an Academy Award nod for Best Actor — and a place in history as that cate- gory's third youngest nominee ever — among many other es- teemed global accolades. In a short time, the multifac- eted Timothée Chalamet has amassed an illustrious résumé of rich and diverse performanc- es thus far, working under the direction of Hollywood's most distinguished auteurs after getting his start in off-Broad- way theater. His standout roles include turns in Christopher Nolan's Interstellar, Greta Gerwig's Lady Bird and Little Women, Felix Van Groenin- gen's Beautiful Boy, Wes An- derson's The French Dispatch, Adam McKay's Don't Look Up, Denis Villeneuve's internation- al blockbuster Dune, and most recently Guadagnino's Bones and All. Later this year, he will reprise his starring role in the highly anticipated Dune: Part Two and embody the epon- ymous character in Wonka, the movie musical prequel to Roald Dahl's 1964 novel Char- lie and the Chocolate Factory. The actor will next portray Bob Dylan in James Mangold's A Complete Unknown, which be- gins filming this summer. BLEU DE CHANEL marks his first collaboration with CHANEL and as the official ambassador of any fashion or beauty label. Defying the preconceptions of men's per- fumery, the forthcoming cam- paign marks a milestone for Timothée Chalamet as well as the house of CHANEL, syn- chronously ushering in new eras for him as a modern icon and for the legacy of BLEU DE CHANEL. The BLEU DE CHANEL ad- vertising campaign starring Timothée Chalamet, shot by Mario Sorrenti will be released in June 2023, followed by the release of the campaign film, directed by Martin Scorsese, in fall.
